Answer
• With a child your world does get
messy
• Adults share the mess and the
work 100%

• Tell your boyfriend his lack of
consideration is smothering
your relationship
• This is affecting your child when
you are too tired

share, he must pay someone to
help you

yourself whether you want to
stay in the relationship

you have energy for your child
and relationship
